The good news is, according to the Sunday papers, corporate philanthropy is growing at 10% a year in the UK. British companies last year gave away £1bn a year to good causes.

The bad news is more than a third that £1bn came from one company, pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline.
Businesses in America contribute nearly 5 per cent of the total amount of money received by charity or good causes in the US, while in Britain it is 3 per cent.
I think we can do better!
